Noodles too soggy, the soup too watery and not thick/creamy like i eat at other branches the same goes too the chicken in the ramen , too salty Didn't prepared any condiments to eat with ramen as the staffs already kept it

The reviews were quite bad. Had I known, I wouldn't have come But I was pleasantly surprised the rich broth was flavorful and the noodles were fine, not clumped together
